Li Zheng acted as the middleman, and after passing the formalities, Dahua and Xiaohua stayed in the Xiao family.
Madam Zhao took ten taels of silver and returned to her home.
The onlookers looked at Mrs. Zhao's figure and listened to the old lady of the Zhao family chattering and cursing, and a sense of worry arose in their hearts.
"This big flower and little flower are also blessed. After leaving the Zhao family, they won't have to be angry with the old lady." Guihua Niang and Sidan Niang said.
"Who says it's not the case? The Xiao family's sister-in-law is also kind-hearted. If I were me, I would not buy their girl even if I had money. To avoid getting into trouble." Sidanniang looked at the Zhao family's yard and curled her lips.
"Just wait and see, the old lady of the Zhao family may become a monster in the future."
"You are an old pest! You don't want to give your children any virtue."
Both men shook their heads and dispersed along with the crowd.
Dahua and Xiaohua stood in the courtyard of the Xiao family, a little at a loss.
Although I had contact with the Xiao family in the past, my status at that time was different from my current status.
We were neighbors at that time, and there was no difference between us except rich and poor.
Now that the two are servants of the Xiao family, they don't know what they should do.
After seeing Li Zheng off, Xu Zhengxiang packed up and prepared to go to the ground.
Just as she was about to sit down and put on her shoes, Xiaohua immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandma, no, Master, Master, let me put them on for you."
Xu Zhengxiang was startled and almost sat down on the ground.
"Xiaohua, who taught you to call people like this!"
She stabilized her figure, sat down and put on the rag shoes she wore for work, and continued: "This is not something our family likes. From now on, you two should call me Grandma!"
Xiaohua looked at Dahua.
After the two people looked at each other, they looked at Ye Luoxin together.
Ye Luoxin nodded, "You can still call me according to your original habits, our family doesn't have so many rules.
However, if the family does not support idlers, it will definitely be difficult for them to get away with it if they want to cheat.
In a moment I will take you to see where you live and what kind of work there is in the yard. "
"Yeah!" The two sisters nodded quickly.
Ye Luoxin arranged them in the west wing, where Divine Doctor Pei originally lived.
However, after the new house was built, Xiao Changhe invited Divine Doctor Pei to live in the new house.
The new house is close to the backyard, so it is convenient for the miracle doctor to get up early every day for boxing.
The two sisters walked into their room and immediately didn't know where to put their feet.
This house is so clean.
Even the window paper was white and translucent, completely different from their own dark house.
"You two, don't be too reserved." Ye Luoxin said.
"You will live here from now on, and first get familiar with all the work in the yard. I will have other arrangements in a few days."
"Okay." The two agreed.
After a pause, Dahua asked timidly: "Sister, can we go back to see my mother?"
Before Ye Luoxin could speak, she quickly said: "After I finish all the work, I will take the time to go back and see her."
Ye Luoxin said: "As long as you do your job well, you can watch as you like."
The two sisters were very grateful, "Thank you sister!"
After looking at the room, Ye Luoxin took two people to the back to see the animal shed, and told them how to clean, how to disinfect and what they should pay attention to.
After everything was explained, Ye Luoxin took a basket and a sickle to them and said:
"You can learn other jobs slowly. You are familiar with mowing grass, so go do this first."
"It turns out that there are so many rabbits at home, no wonder we need so much grass every day!" Dahua said.
"When we go out in the future, we will compact the basket a little more so that we can carry more back every time."
This afternoon, they sent grass back and forth three times.
Ye Luoxin looked at the piles of grass in the backyard and told them that they had enough for today.
Big Flower and Little Flower refused to be idle. They walked around the yard and chopped all the firewood to be burned in the evening.
Seeing that the two sisters were looking for work, Ye Luoxin said nothing.
After all, it is a new identity, and everyone needs to get used to it for a while.
In the evening, the Xiao family's dinner was meatball soup, fried wild celery, and a bowl of rice for each person.
Dahua and Xiaohua refused to serve. After helping to serve the dishes, they hid outside.
Xu Zhengxiang shouted: "Let's eat when we eat. Why are you two hiding?"
But Big Flower and Little Flower refused to come over.
"Mom said we can't eat with the host's family. We know grandma and sister are good to us, but we must abide by this rule."
Xu Zhengxiang had no choice but to ask Yang Feng to share some vegetables and soup with them and let them eat at the table outside.
Dahua and Xiaohua haven't eaten meat for a long time.
When they saw the meatballs when the food was served, their eyes widened.
There is also wild celery. They obviously ate it last night, but the Xiao family put a lot of oil in it when frying it, so it smelled particularly fragrant.
Yang Feng looked at the two of them and urged: "Eat quickly, eat quickly. Today's meatballs are so delicious. One bite fills your mouth with the aroma of meat. Hey, let's not talk anymore. I have to go back and continue eating!"
Big Hua and Xiao Hua held up their rice bowls, feeling like a dream.
The two of them were sold as servants, but the lives of these servants were infinitely better than those of their own family.
They only cut six baskets of grass today, but they were able to eat so much meat. Did the Xiao family lose too much?
The two sisters were apprehensive, but happily ate their first meal at Xiao's house.
**
In the yard next door, the Zhao family.
Mrs. Zhao took three copper coins during the day and went to Gui Hua Niang to exchange for two eggs.
In the evening, she broke the eggs, added water and salt, and steamed a bowl of soft chicken cakes.
Since marrying into the Zhao family, she has only eaten chicken cake twice.
That was when she was pregnant with Dahua, and Zhao Dashan forced her to eat.
Later, the old lady said that if she only gave birth to a daughter but not a son, it would be a waste no matter how much she ate. The old lady wanted to hide all the eggs at home.
Since then, she has never eaten chicken cake again.
Madam Zhao took the steamed chicken cake out of the pot.
The tender yellow chicken cake is very tempting.
She reached into her arms and took out a small paper bag.
Open it slowly and there is some white powder inside.
She poured the white powder into the egg cake, stirred it a little, and all the powder melted into the bowl and disappeared.
